Now in its fifth edition, the CGGI evaluates 120 countries using 35 indicators grouped into seven pillars: Leadership & Foresight, Robust Laws & Policies, Strong Institutions, Financial Stewardship, Attractive Marketplace, Global Influence & Reputation, and Helping People Rise. 

Global Influence & Reputation also dropped significantly in the last year. Weaker diplomatic engagement and shifting geopolitical norms are reshaping how countries build partnerships and external trust. Still, there are signs of momentum: 73 countries improved their CGGI scores between 2024 and 2025, more than double the number that declined (33). Strengthening institutional capacity was a key driver, with countries like Mongolia, Vietnam, and Jordan making notable progress—proving that resource levels are not the sole determinant of effective governance. 

"Government capabilities matter. This year's results continue to show a strong relationship between government capabilities and a country's attainment of outcomes that are important for individuals' lives and livelihoods, such as education, employment and health," said Kenneth Sim, Managing Director (Strategy & Research), Chandler Institute of Governance.
